Full description

Get picked up in the morning and head to Wadowice, the city where John Paul II was born and raised. Visit the location where, in the place of his former residence, a museum was opened in his memory. His timeless message has been delivered to people around the world and exhibits his incredible wisdom and understanding of contemporary problems, which makes this place a popular destination for many Catholics. Of course, also while in Wadowice, don't miss the famous papal fondant. The next stop is Kalwaria Zebrzydowska Sanctuary and Park, which can be found on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites. It is regarded as the Polish Calvary Hill. The final stop is in Krakow at Divine Mercy Sanctuary, a location near and dear to the Pope’s heart, as the remains of Saint Faustina Kowalska rest there. After the tour, get dropped off at your hotel in Krakow in the afternoon.

The tour guide Matthew (Mateo) was excellent! Very good presentation, very cultured, very polite and gave an excellent explanation of all the scenarios in which Pope John Paul II was involved. My mother (Patricia) went with my sister (Tatiana) to this tour and they were very happy and happy! They had had some bad experiences with other tours, but the positives and the guide's great attitude, diction and way of explaining made up for other not so positive events in Poland. We definitely recommend the guide with 1000 stars!! :) The tour guide Matthew (Mateo) was excellent!
